Long story short, I knew a guy that said he knew how to fiberglass. Iíd figured leave it to someone with experience plus I didnít have the time. All I had to do was pay for the parts and $30 for labor. Well he did the job and FUUUUged it up real good. He could have used bondo or somethingÖ.. I honestly could have done a waaaay better job myself. The paint job was decent and so was the top, but there are too many lumps and bumps by the speakers. Any way to recover from this disaster?

I donít wanna throw away the box because it pounds pretty hard!! Even for a sealed box its awesome!!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit... Yeah I'm guessing it was a noob glasser. Carpet it and it would look pretty good.

by the looks of it, it is just a fiberglass front and all the other panels are MDF. They are sort of designed like our standard boxes. Just sand it all down, use some body filler to make it look nice, and then re paint it.
BTW, what was the total you paid for that box?

6) kick dude in nuts for jacking your 30 bucks

:D

Barring the chitty finish work. If the enclosure is sturdy he spent his $30 well. I would charge more than $30 to make an unfinished enclosure like his. It would be smoother, but more than $30 :)

thats the diffeence from a fiberglasser and someone that knows fiberglassing, not everyone has what it takes to do the finish work. Any ******* can mix resin, not everyone has the patience to finish the work.

I would sand it down rebondo it several times till you have it smooth. repaint, or vinyl it. I am not a big fan of carpet on glass.

Easy now, by trade I am a fiberglass fabricator. But I can do finish work :)

Looks better than before but I can't tell how much better b/c picture quality.
